Downtown Master Plan

Oct. 30. There’s a little more time to provide input on how downtown Cornelius should grow and change over the next 15 years. A citizen survey has been extended from Oct. 31 to Nov. 7.

Go to www.Cornelius.org/downtown to take the downtown survey and have your opinion heard.

Background

Over the years downtown has morphed from an agriculture and mill community to a hub for arts, community, and commerce. In between there was a long period of decline. The goal is to “preserve the past, shape the future.”

Design charrette

At a recent design open house various photos of other cities’ downtown areas were displayed, allowing residents to indicate their preference by placing a sticker beside their favorite photos at each board. The examples ranged from quaint, small town feel to more industrial architectural styles.

    With the loud, tacky lighting of the center for arts, several seedy dive bars with same lighting scheme would fit right in and help complete the flashy neon feel.

      The Cain center is Cheesy & tacky. Flashing gawdy neon signs are awful. Would you like that in the Jetton neighborhood? I hope whoever designed that is not going to be part of any further destruction to what was once a charming area with so much potential.
